Hmmm... can't recall exactly. $150/$200 I think. I was just by the APC store in SoHo a couple of weeks ago but didn't go in. I was always more of a Helmut Lang fanatic, and even have a pair on as I type. Of course, now that Helmut retired the line isn't worth a dime.

Right now it's *ALL* about Swedish ACNE jeans, but I've yet to buy any. I will soon though... a girl MUST keep up, you know

We are so ripped off here. Even a pair of basic 501's cost us about $150. The pair of Ksubi's I like are $375. As my Nudie's, G-Star's and Energie jeans cost me about $300 a pair, Ksubi, ACNE and APC will just have to wait. I suspect ACNE and APC will just be too darned long for a short-arse like me anyway.

501's for $150?. WOW. $35.00 here. If you want a pair send me your size. In fact, maybe the kids' sizes are even cheaper.

We should start up an import/export business.

Probably a good idea; an export business !!!

We used to be able to order & buy online (much and much cheaper) from american online shops. However since about a year it's becomming more and more difficult and sometimes virtually impossible, because we a redirected to European online shops/sites. Importers and distributors have been seeing a decline in their sales, and managed to put a halt to "parallel imports". A pair of Levi's 501 goes on average for Ä100's (if bought online!) factor in the currency exchange rate and it adds to +/- $ 145,=

I think you right, Doxie. I know Levis had factories in the South and in Texas. They closed them up and moved to Mexico. I think even Mexico got too expensive and now they're made in SE Asia somewhere.

Grasshopper, like I said, send me your size and I'll send you some Levis. Hey, if you sell them to the people in your support group at $75/pop, they'll get them at 1/2 price and you double your investment. Maybe that will be the motivation to get you to Mexico city too.

this thread, like most of MtD's has gone to the dogs. But that's OK. Matty might bitch and moan about a lot of things but I don't think he's that picky about his 'threads' so talking about jeans just might be OK.
